""You have changed at least one life- mine- with your thoughts conceptualized into this phenomenally-articulated book. This is a once-in-a-lifetime read... Poetry exposing the brutal core of humanity that the world desperately needs."" - Elyse Haslam ""This is the book that leaves fingerprints on your heart and marks on your soul. Her words will break you, cut you open, and rip you apart but will stitch you back together, softer and stronger."" - Insha Fatima ""She wrote things that give me strength and collect my sorrow. This book is also similar. A calm to my tortured heart... Whenever I feel lost, I just go and open it, read 2 pages, contemplate on them and feel my energy back."" - Reader Review on Goodreads
Author Information
Sadia Hakim is the most significant pioneering confessional poet and literary nonfiction writer in Pakistani English literature, central to keeping the legacy of Sylvia Plath's confessional style alive within the contemporary South Asian literary tradition. Her work is celebrated for its searing psychological honesty and textual depth, fearlessly confronting trauma, familial dysfunction, and identity struggles with a voice that resonates with readers globally. Coming from a medical background, Sadia masterfully employs specialized medical and scientific terminology to convey intense emotions and psychological states. Sadia's writing directly confronts the piercing sense of profound intellectual and emotional loneliness, alongside the frustration of educated potential being sacrificed for domesticity. Her rebellious voice confronts the intense psychological themes and self-loathing that many writers dare not touch, exploring the human psyche and favoring depth over surfaces. As a proudly neurodivergent and intensely introverted author, her voice is essential for those seeking unvarnished emotional truth and is highly recommended for fans of literary icons like Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.
